Piastri Blames Sainz for Race Collapse | Nascar News

Oscar Piastri is furious with Carlos Sainz after a collision that cost him the Hungarian Grand Prix win, calling Sainz’s move reckless and blaming him for ending his race — not the team’s pit strategy. Piastri says Sainz ignored him while battling Alonso, forcing contact that lost him track position and ultimately his chance at victory. He rejects Sainz’s blue flag excuse, stressing awareness and responsibility, even suggesting Sainz should “look in the mirror” for past misjudgments. Though he initially blamed McLaren for the timing of his pit stop, Piastri made clear his anger was aimed squarely at Sainz — and the collision, not the gearbox failure, was the moment that sealed his fate.

Todd Gilliland Stuns in Indy In-Season Challenge | Nascar News

Todd Gilliland pulled off a jaw-dropping upset in the 2026 In-Season Challenge at Indy, winning the five-week knockout bracket with a $1 million payday after starting 25th. Blaney, seeded third, looked unstoppable until a late-race wreck dropped him to 30th. Gilliland, despite sliding down to 15th and battling a late charge from Blaney, held on by two spots. After a shaky start, Gilliland’s clutch performances—including a win over Chase Elliott—proved he’s got what it takes under pressure. This wild, high-stakes format is proving to be a true test of grit, and Gilliland just proved he’s the one to beat.
